Miscellanea

The Cover: To celebrate the 125th anniversary of the founding of The Johns Hopkins University (1876Ś2001), this issue on "Millennial Challenges" is dedicated to the memory of Johns Hopkins. His portrait adorns the cover along with the logo "Knowledge for the world" to mark the anniversary. The cover also shows the location of the Hopkins centers on three continents and photographs of the oldest (hospital building, 1889) and newest (APL Building 26, 2000) of the ever-growing family of Hopkins structures.
